Arsenal boss Arteta: Confidence now returning for Havertz

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says Kai Havertz deserves his current success.

Havertz has scored twice in a week ahead of their clash with Wolves on the weekend.

Arteta said, "He's been very positive, he's been so influential in a good way to his team-mates and the team. But obviously his confidence grows, he's really looking forward to something. When you feel loved, when you feel respected and when you feel admired, things are much easier.

"Your energy is better, your body language is better and I think that is the way he's felt in the last few days.

"He's very respectful. He's not someone who wants to be there in the frontline, or at least he doesn't show it in that way. But then, if you ask him to go to war, he will be the first one down there. But he doesn't want to take that credit and I think he deserved that credit on the day."
